I love this great explanation!

Thanks to the legend who is Linda J Smith for helping me get this meme into sensible words!
ETA: It's still super normal and expected for babies to poo at least several times a week once casein increases. Some babies will still go several times a day, a few will go one a week. We just don't worry so much after 6 weeks of age, and shift more of our focus onto wet nappies, weight gain, and general baby mood / behaviour.

Here are some tips for preventing heat related illness 🌡

They are two healthy babies, three months old, exclusive breastfeeding, and, believe me, neither the one on the left is obese, nor the one on the right is undernourished.

They are variations of normality!

Most likely, when they start crawling, the one on the left will slim down a little and the one on the right will gain muscle mass.

Do not compare your child to other children. Each of us is different.
